Northern California Cross Country League 2014 March

Postby jug » Sat Mar 01, 2014 2:38 pm

The first event of the 2014 Northern California Cross Country League will be held at Dunlap on 29th and 30th March. Please meet at 9.30am at the community center in Dunlap ready to go up the hill. Please note that with the potential loss of flying at Dunlap this may be the last time the league goes to Dunlap in a while.

The league is open to all pilots - hang-glider and paraglider pilots are all welcome to attend. It is designed to train pilots in cross country flying by flying fixed routes with more abled pilots. The aim of the league is on GETTING PILOTS TO FLY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. The Cross Country league is an informal series of cross country competitions running from March through to October held at flying sites within driving distance of the Bay Area. The league is set to help pilots of all abilities in improving their flying skills by flying set courses with other pilots. These are essentially a fly in with a mission. Pilots attending the league should be happy thermalling with other pilots and be able to land safely not necessarily in the designated landing zone. Any pilots who can do this is more than welcome at the league.

Junior pilots interested in learning about XC might be interested in the Sprint League:

There is a website devoted to the league: http://www.santacruzparagliding.com where you can find all the information you need for the league. If you wish to fly in the league please fill out the registration form on the website: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1wZuhRZ ... U/viewform

Bring a completed waiver (which can also be found on the website) to the first league event or email me a completed waiver: http://santacruzparagliding.com/NCXC/waiver.pdf

For those of you who have not been to the league before there is a webpage: http://www.santacruzparagliding.com/NCX ... imers.html which explains how the league actually functions and how pilots can prepare themselves for the league and the weekend.

If you wish to car pool, figure out places to eat or camp, please register with the yahoo groups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SFBAPAXC/)
so that you can co-ordinate with other pilots.

There is a charge for $30 per task for the league which covers rides to launch and retrieve.

If you have any questions about the league please let me know.

I am looking for drivers for this weekend. Drivers get paid $100 per day. Please let me know if you can assist or know of someone who can assist.

Hope to see you in the air.
